Lindsay Lohan a fun set addition on 'Betty'
“Ugly Betty’s” lead actress and the show’s most high-profile guest-star have been having fun on set, said America Ferrera, who plays Betty.
Lindsay Lohan joins the cast of the ABC series for a few episodes as Betty’s former high school enemy who now works at a fast food joint.
“They wrote a lot of really fun stuff for [Lohan’s] character and we had a good time,” Ferrera said at the press day for her upcoming film “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.”
Though Lohan is constant tabloid fodder, Ferrera said she stays out of the celeb party scene.
“I just want to work. I just want to do my job,” Ferrera said. “I just love what I do and have too much respect for the work to ever jeopardize [that].”
Worker bee Ferrera, 24, said she's loved working the vibe of shooting in New York since the show switched locations this season.
"When you're filming, it's great to have people screaming out of their windows, 'We love you Betty,' and that kind of welcoming energy. And then we also get the other side of it, too, which is, 'Get out of our way. You're stopping traffic,' " Ferrera said. "But it's New York. You take the good with the bad. It makes you feel like you have your battle scars."
